Yes this is the same Rose O'Neill who invented Kewpies
A quote from O'Neill: “The buffoonery of the Kewpies and the passion of my serious drawings playing side by side is unusual, but not too unusual. In this droll existence, the Hamlet and Lear have always consorted with the clown.”
Here's some more of her "Sweet Monsters". This series was very personal to her, and she meant to keep all these drawings private until Auguste Rodîn insisted she show them.
